Kindness
Act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with your God – it sounds so nice and easy. But as is clear, this is a lifetime’s task, not a once and for all event. Whatever our role in life, whatever our vocation we are all called to reflect each day on whether we have acted justly, loved tenderly and walked humbly.
Hopefully, little by little, we can come closer to this ideal as we grow in wisdom and love.
